What is it?
The T-Maxx is a 1/10 scale, 4-wheel drive monster truck. It is part of the Maxx family of trucks, manufactured solely by Traxxas. The T-Maxx is powered by the TRX 2.5 Racing Engine.

This 2.5cc multi-port, rear exhaust, two-stroke engine runs on fuel blended with alcohol and nitromethane, and is capable of turning nearly 50,000rpms! In a recent review by R/C Nitro Magazine, they called it "the most powerful small block engine we have ever tested," and their readers voted it Best Engine in the Reader’s Choice Awards. The TRX 2.5 is equipped with Traxxas’ exclusive EZ-Start™ Electric Starting System. Starting the engine is as simple as pushing a button! T-Maxx is fitted with a two-speed forward and reverse transmission. You shift between forward and reverse by pressing a conveniently located grip-mounted selector on the transmitter. Only the T-Maxx’s patented design allows you maintain smooth, fully proportional control over your throttle and braking in both forward and reverse gears. Before T-Maxx, if a nitro-powered model got stuck facing a wall, you had to go rescue it. With T-Maxx, simply press a button to back out of trouble! The adjustable two-speed also shifts automatically in forward and reverse (try challenging yourself to drive backwards well-enough to hit second gear!). T-Maxx may be most famous for it's amazing, fully independent suspension and 8 oil-filled shock absorbers (2 at each wheel). With nearly 4 inches of suspension travel at each wheel and the plush feel of the oil-filled shocks, T-Maxx is equipped to drive over nearly anything at mind-boggling speeds. Combine that with the T-Maxx’s legendary durability and you find that absolutely nothing handles the rough stuff better than a T-Maxx. It comes fully assembled and Ready-To-Race® right out of the box. Install batteries, put on a few decals and your ready-to-run. The included radio system is installed, adjusted and the fuel mixture on the engine is pre-set to break-in specs. Whether you’re a novice or a pro, a professionally produced DVD is included to take you through the set-up and engine break-in procedure.

It's a total package that is unique and likely rivals even the highest performance small blocks." - R/C Car Action Magazine, November 2002

"The T-Maxx consistently launched itself like a caged animal with its front wheels raised, and it accelerated at an impressive rate. The high-revving engine and tall gearing got it to the finish line first every time." - R/C Nitro Magazine, April 2003

"The incredible TRX 2.5 engine...pumps out enough power to shame many "sport" big-block engines. The R/C Nitro dyno-test confirmed more than 1hp (1.33 to be exact) from the mighty mill, and it has no trouble pushing the T-Maxx past 40mph - and that's with electric starting!"- R/C Car Action Magazine, September 2003

“The TRX 2.5 is an all new design from the ground up. It is intended to produce Maximum power from a small block platform and for a reasonable price. Starting with a clean slate allowed Traxxas to incorporate numerous performance-enhancing features to ratchet the power output up beyond most other small blocks. It’s simply a superior all-around engine that will be tough to beat, even with certain big blocks.”

“There’s no other way to say this: The TRX 2.5 rocks- plain and simple. It makes world-class power and I’d install it in any race car… It’s a combination of all the right ingredients and superior engineering and is sure to be attractive to the power hungry.”
